I'm still hopeful. And for that I am being much more active promoting ecological thinking. And of course fighting against the idiotic far-right propaganda, largely responsible for …

But you also need to explain others why they should do that too (only one person doing all of that will not make a difference). This is where "people watching Fox News" are guilty …

"Giving money to corpos" is basically living in society where the work is shared so that somebody e.g. good at repairing a water leak can concentrate on that and do the job for oth…

But this doesn't apply in Klein's case, as he rephrased, and this had some purpose as it increased the integration and logical coherence of the whole. If it is rephrased, you canno…

For anybody not willing to burden their text with full-on quotations, but to avoid such plagiarism claims: It can be as unobtrusive as putting a simple footnote after each of those…

We're talking about separate things, yeah. The Ainu/mainland distinction is a feature arrived much later than the mixing I am referring to. My point is that Japan ethnicity is the …

You're right that it is used commonly, but we have the chance to be in a position to know better (thanks to our cross-cultural and larger perspective). The right term is gaikokujin…

We can distill our disagreement into: "present perspective vs past perspective". Why do I think that the archaeologic/anthropologic perspective is a great point on this issue? It's…

If so, there is some kind of hope.

That's not what most recent archaeological discoveries tell. Quite distinct groups of humans mixed in ancient Japan, as different and distant at that time as the groups that are mi…

Yes. Mixing of cultures always lead to adding up their different solutions to all kinds of problems, improving the fitness of the result among other groups of humans. It's gatherin…

It's not ok in Japan either. And its "homogeneous identity" is mostly a construction, dating back from the Meiji era. And Heian period Japan had a completely different set of value…

That's a dangerous situation for EU: - UK would rejoin EU, - and then, later on, Reform would reach power and undermine EU just like Orban did. So maybe it would be better to refus…

That makes me think of the Inca's quipus.

Would you mind showing me some evidence that software update systems are able to push to you e.g. a different Android update based on your device ID or specific IP? (not just count…

There is NO such mechanism (discriminated updates by user), of my knowledge, in: - Linux (apt, pacman, rpm...), - Android And I would add Windows and iOS/MacOS but I'm not at all a…

One by one: - A/B testing is agnostic of who the user is, it is randomized. If it was not, that would be a bad practice and would legitimately ruin the reputation of the company do…

Is there any evidence that the mechanism to do that is in place? I think that would be widely decried especially on HN if that is one day implemented.

Ah! You may well be right. Thanks. That's bad then, to depend on that for paywall bypass... I hope very much that the situation evolves into a more satisfactory one.

I doubt it. You may have mixed it up with archive.org.

Oh I got the joke! (I'm pretty sure it was intended) Yes a parser is a fun to read ;)

Very weird to see written "EU open-source sector", because any medium or large open-source project is international and includes many EU contributors. I don't think of GNU as an "U…

Any example(s) of language that includes all the necessary features?

(I managed to improve it.) Running ads unskippably: unspeakably sad earning.

I was coding a lot many years ago with a Nokia N900. The loss of the physical keyboard ruined everything for me. I really need the sense of touch.
